Danielle and Liam were in talks about sharing a home together and even bought a pup.

A source told the paper, “They have been trying for months to make it work but it just hasn’t. They had a big chat last month and decided there wasn’t any point in dragging it out. Liam‘s on tour until November and Danielle‘s very busy so they basically never see each other.”

They added, “It was extremely amicable though, which is good because there’s a strong chance Danielle will still be in the lads’ upcoming 3D film.”
